The Stemeresch Water Treatment Plant

It is the goal of the Stemeresch Water Treatment Plant to keep the Stemeresch River, the streams that flow into it, and our entire water supply as clean and healthy as possible. We want the people who live in San Realto Township and the visitors to this great city to enjoy all we have to offer, from parks and shopping, to golf courses and swimming pools. None of this would be possible without our water supply.

Each month, the Stemeresch Water Treatment Plant reclaims about a quarter of the water that passes through the plant(about 1.0 million gallons) and uses it to irrigate landscaping for the city's parks and recreation areas. Additionally, all so-called biosolids that are removed from the wastewater process are dried and tested to make sure they meet Class A requirements, which means the solids can be recycled as fertilizer.

The Mission of the Water Pollution Administration is to efficiently, effectively, and professionally:

* collect and treat wastewater

* recycle biosolids responsibly

* protect the health and safety of the local community

* protect the water quality of the Stemeresch River and streams

* supplement the water supply with recycled water for park irrigation

* promote discussion about water treatment and conservation with the public.

The US Hardware Manufacturing Sector

The hardware manufacturing sector in the United States generated $3.08 billion in sales last year. The industry currently employs approximately 18,000 people, nearly 15,000 of whom are engaged in production.

During the 1980s and 1990s, large corporations began to acquire smaller firms. For example, Twin Falls Hardware, long the number-two company in the industry in terms of sales, acquired eight companies between 1986 and 1993, further reinforcing its position.

In 1995, two large hardware manufacturers, Gator Inc. and Kairn Corporation, merged to form Kairn Holdings, an arrangement profitable for both companies. Kairn Holdings was the leading hardware manufacturer in the United States in 1998, and continues to be a market leader.

The majority of companies in the hardware manufacturing sector are privately owned. The industry is concentrated in the Southeastern United States, with over 40 percent of shipments originating there.
